nouncc the spirit manifested toward the maimcd

guage In which certain OF his vetoes are

merited his veto of the dependent pension bill,
and declare that IL was In plain violation Of the
Nations pledges N its defenders, and OF the
oft-repeated promises OF the Democratic party

to secure votes. We demand Of Congress that
y pass. and OF the President that he approves,
the country that the helpless widows Of dead

ventions. we ask such LEGISLATION by Congress

good faith using 1t without knowledge OF the ex.
istence Of the patent, he fails to give notice OF

II. We heartily indorse the administration OF
Governor Foraker ns WISE prudent firm and

and we hereby commend and indorse the action
OF the Sixty.sevcnth General Assembly In pre-.
venting the contamination ofs these crimes, and
in enacting registration laws applicable to the

OF the Dow law in fulilllment OF the promise OF
the Republican party, and we pledge ourselves
to such further legislation rs may de necessary
to keep abreast with enlightened public senti-
ment on this question to the end that the evils
resulting from the traffic In intoxicating liquors
be restrained to the utmost possible extent in
all parts OF the Stale.
ii. we favor such legislation as will secure to
the agricultural commercial and industrial In
terests OF the State, equally. without discrim-
ination in favor OF any citizen or corporation
the benefits OF transportation by oil common
carriers Mt the lowest rates consistent with Jus.
tice, and that the waterways OF the State should
be maintained and improved so as to secure the
people the full benefits thereof
10. Recognizing, as the Republicans OF Ohio
always have, the gifted and tried statesmen OF
the Republican party OF other States loyal and
the organization in 1888, under whatever stand
ard bearer the Republican National Conven-
tion may select, they have just pride in the
record and career of John Sherman as men,
Der Of the Republican party, and as statesman
Of fidelity, large experience and great ability.
His career as statesman began with the birth
veloped with the growth OF the organization;
his genius and patriotism are stamped upon the
records of the party and the statutes and CON
stitution Of the country, and believing that his
nomination for the office Of President would be
wise and judicious, we respectfully present his
name to the people Of the United States as
candidate, and announce our hearty and cordial
support Of him for that offlce.
Nearly every plank brought out the
heartiest applause, but the last one, in
dorsing Senator Sherman as Ohio's candi-
date for the Presidency, created furore,
the delegates cheering themselves hoarse.
The Committee on Permanent Organiza-
tion reported through Colonel W. G. Cooper,
OF Mt. Vernon, as follows:
Chairman, Hon. John Sherman, OF Mans
field; secretary, Walter =. Thomas, of Del
aware; assistant secretaries, E. NJ. Camp
bell, Of Clark, D. 8. Lanning, OF Coshocton,
E. W. Doty, Of Cuyahoga, G. H. Williams,
Of Fairfield, c. s. Sprague, Of Morgan, and
8. N. Field, of Franklin.
Upon assuming the chair Senator Sher-
man eulogzed the administration Of Gov
ernor Foraker, complimented the last
Legislature as "the most useful and
cludcd as follows:
l have one other duty to perform, and that
do with an overflowing heart. thank you
all, with all my heart, for the resolution that
you have this day passed in respect to your
choice for President Of the United States.
l know, my fellow-citizens, that this is
rather, perhaps, a matter Of sentiment.
know as a matter of resolution 1t Is of no
Importance unless the voters in tho Dis
tricts Of the State of Ohio and Of the United
States should, in this free choice, select
delegates who will agree with you in your
opinion. recognize the District rule and
right Of every district to speak Its own
voice. stood by that rule in 1880 when l
knew its adoption would cut of all hopes
Of my friends at that time. ! also know
that there was another rule, one that no
man ought to be held candidate for that
high office unless he has the substantially
unanimous voice Of his party behind him.
believe that that is true rule, and it
ought to be exercised to promote harmony
and good will and friendship among Re-
publlcans.
Now, my countrymen, again thanking
you for this expression, tell you with all
Al IhhU OIO VI yOut uu6uA-
nous praise this day than do of the Office
rather feel, my countrymen, that / stood
before you now, at this period of my life,
man and boy, living always in Ohio That
now, at this late period of it, the Republic
ans Of Ohio, for whose welfare have de-
voted so much Of my life, are willing to say
this much for.me."
There was tremendous applause when he
had finished. A
